Recently picket up this old Thinkpad T30 for 2 bucks at a local flea market. Its a bit scratched up and the battery is more or less dead but everything else is working fine. Its Pentium 4M, 1gb of ram and 40gb hdd might be a bit overkill for win2k but its really amazing. Running Firefox 13 and a webone proxy to deal with ssl issues.

Generations are useful in the case of aesthetics because each generation has a different source of nostalgia
so someone born in 1997 has a different source of nostalgia to someone born in 1996, but the same as someone born in 1998?
